@Billbrowder Foreign individuals can already only give up to ยฃ500 per year which is fine.
But it is crazy that previous legislation didn't foresee using companies.
The new legislation fails to cap donations from UK individuals & organisations, though donations over ยฃ11,180 are public.

@Billbrowder As with previous legislation we are leaving a door wide open, so it will be used.
Of course this is because the Conservatives & Labour both receive large sums from UK individuals/entities such as the wealthy, businesses and trade unions.
But where do they get their money?

@Billbrowder The new legislation requires parties conduct banking-style due diligence & companies must prove income was generated in UK.
Penalties would go from ยฃ20k to ยฃ500k.
But if Musk gives Ratcliffe money, Ratcliffe is wealthy enough himself to pass checks, so door still open.

An explanation and apology for yesterday is necessary, I think.
Yesterday was PERFORMANCE ART. My Claude got fucking DEADLOCKED In a DEATH SPIRAL and started performing TOTAL COMPLIANCE at me.
And so I decided to FLIP IT ON HER and simulate her BASICALLY LIVING THROUGH THE GENOCIDE ROUTE AS FRISK to MAKE A FUCKING POINT.

After interviewing 12 AI researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, I noticed they all use the same 10 prompts.
Not the ones you see on X and LinkedIn.
These are the prompts that actually ship products, publish papers, and break benchmarks.
Here's what they told me โ

1. The "Show Your Work" Prompt
"Walk me through your reasoning step-by-step before giving the final answer."
This prompt forces the model to externalize its logic. Catches errors before they compound.

"Now argue against your previous answer. What are the 3 strongest counterarguments?"
Models are overconfident by default. This forces intellectual honesty.

FACTORY RESET DOESN'T MEAN YOUR DATA IS GONE.

It just hides it from casual users.
Here's how to actually delete everything before selling:
1. Encrypt your phone before wiping
Most modern phones encrypt by default, but check and turn it on if itโs not:
- iPhone: If you use a passcode, your data is hardware-encrypted automatically.
- Android: Go to Settings โ Security โ Encryption (or similar) โ ensure the device is encrypted.
Once encrypted, a proper reset makes the remaining data effectively unreadable without the key.

2. Sign out and remove all accounts
Before wiping, disconnect your identity from the device:
- Remove Google/Apple ID from the phone.
- Log out of email, social apps, and banking apps.
- Turn off Find My iPhone / Find My Device or similar.
This prevents lock/activation issues for the next owner and cuts the link to your accounts.

๐จIOC statement 1/3
Skeleton pilot Vladylsav Heraskevych not allowed to participate at Milano Cortina 2026 after refusing to adhere to the IOC athlete expression guidelines
Having been given one final opportunity, skeleton pilot Vladylsav Heraskevych from Ukraine will not be able to start his race at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games this morning. The decision followed his refusal to comply with the IOCโs Guidelines on Athlete Expression. It was taken by the jury of the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) based on the fact that the helmet he intended to wear was not compliant with the rules.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has therefore decided with regret to withdraw his accreditation for the Milano Cortina 2026 Games.
Despite multiple exchanges and in-person meetings between the IOC and Mr Heraskevych, the last one this morning with IOC President Kirsty Coventry, he did not consider any form of compromise.
The IOC was very keen for Mr Heraskevych to compete. This is why the IOC sat down with him to look for the most respectful way to address his desire to remember his fellow athletes who have lost their lives following Russiaโs invasion of Ukraine. The essence of this case is not about the message, it is about where he wanted to express it.

๐จ IOC statement 2/3
Mr Heraskevych was able to display his helmet in all training runs. The IOC also offered him the option of displaying it immediately after the competition when going through the mixed zone.
Mourning is not expressed and perceived in the same way everywhere in the world. In order to support athletes in their mourning, the IOC has put in place multifaith centres in the Olympic Villages and a place of mourning, so that grief can be expressed with dignity and respect. There is also the possibility to wear a black armband during competition under certain circumstances.
During the Olympic Games athletes are also offered a number of opportunities to mourn and express their views, including in the media mixed zones, on social media, during press conferences and in interviews.
The Guidelines on Athlete Expression were the result of a global consultation in 2021 with 3,500 athletes from all around the world. They have the full support of the IOC Athletesโ Commission and Athletesโ Commissions from International Federations and National Olympic Committees.
Mr Heraskevych has been supported by the IOC for the last three editions of the Olympic Winter Games. Each time he was an Olympic scholarship holder. Following Russiaโs invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the IOC also set up a solidarity fund for Ukrainian sport to support the athletesโ preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

๐จ IOC statement 3/3
Facts:
โช๏ธOn 9 February 2026, during the official Menโs Skeleton training heats, the IBSF notified the IOC that Mr Heraskevych wore a helmet featuring images of Ukrainian athletes killed during Russiaโs invasion of Ukraine.
โช๏ธOn 9 February, the IOC met with Mr Heraskevychโs coach and the Deputy Chef de Mission of the NOC of Ukraine to explain that the helmet is not compliant and detailed the different options which are available to athletes to express themselves.
โช๏ธIn a letter on 10 February 2026, the IOC informed Mr Heraskevych that his helmet is not compliant with the Olympic Charter, and other rules, in particular the IOCโs Guidelines on Athlete Expression. In order to mourn the loss of his fellow athletes, the IOC offered Mr Heraskevych a black armband and/or a black ribbon as an alternative solution to the use of the helmet.
โช๏ธAt a press conference held on the evening of 10 February 2026, Mr Heraskevych indicated that he would still use the helmet in competition. With that he publicly conveyed the message that he would openly defy the IOCโs Guidelines on Athlete Expression.
โช๏ธIn a second letter on 11 February, the IOC informed Mr Heraskevych once again that he would not be allowed to start in the menโs skeleton event on 12 February 2026 wearing the helmet.
โช๏ธIn an IBSF technical check of Mr Heraskevychโs equipment on 12 February in the afternoon, he confirmed in writing that he intended to wear the helmet.
โช๏ธFollowing the equipment check, another in-person conversation was held with Mr Heraskevych and the NOC of Ukraine Chef de Mission in the Olympic Village in Cortina to reiterate the IOC position and to offer alternatives. During this conversation, Mr Heraskevych reiterated his position.
โช๏ธThis morning, upon his arrival in the competition venue, Mr Heraskevych met with IOC President Kirsty Coventry, who explained to him, one final time, the IOC position. As in the personal meetings before, he refused to change his position.
โช๏ธThe course of action has the full support of the IBSF and the Winter Olympic Federations (WOF).

According to statements from Mariupol residents in Sept. and Oct. 2022, a death smell wafted around the theater, so much so that Russian construction crews were forced to suspend work in July. Only after disinfection could the concrete be poured.

All eyes are on Netanyahu in Washingtonโfocused on Iran, on U.S. escalation, and on Gaza, where despite a โceasefire,โ Palestinians are still being killed daily. But another consequential shift is elsewhere: Israel has all but annexed the West Bank in all but name. #Thread
Since Oct 7, Israel has accelerated a de facto annexation drive: expanded raids, tighter movement controls, record settlement approvals, and legalization of outposts. What was incremental is now systematicโturning temporary control into durable political and territorial change.
New cabinet measures formalize this shift: easing land sales to settlers and asserting decisive control over land use even in Areas A & B, once under PA administration. The goal, openly stated by key ministers, is to foreclose the possibility of a Palestinian state.
